Based on
Access Music’s award-winning Virus Indigo hardware
synthesizer, Virus|PowerCore offers sixteen voices with three
main oscillators, two filters, three LFOs and two envelopes
for every voice.
Virus|PowerCore is equipped with an
extensive series of oscillators, LFOs, independent multimode
filters and fast envelopes.
The FX section features
chorus/flanger, phaser, saturation, distortion, analog boost
and ring modulation. In addition, the global reverb/delay and
the predelay time can be synched to the song's tempo.
A global vocoder with up to 32 bands, and the built-in
arpeggiator add to the virtual synth’s feature set. Adaptive
Control Smoothing allows super smooth parameter rides without
any unwanted side effects, and an extensive modulation matrix
makes it possible to create the most stunning
sounds.
Virus|PowerCore can be used as a VST instrument
for Windows or Mac, as well as an AudioUnit plug-in under Mac
OSX. The actual synth engine is powered by PowerCore, saving
the host's CPU for other tasks.
The sophisticated
patch management gives you control over thousands of patches
organized in automatically created hierarchical menus. The
file format is the same Standard MIDI file used by the
hardware synthesizers, and more than 4000 pre-programmed
sounds are accessible from Access Music's web site.
The
Base License enables one plug-in instance utilizing one DSP,
and this will give you a 4 part multitimbral, 16 voice
synthesizer.
An Unlimited License can be obtained on
top of the Base License.
With the Virus|PowerCore Unlimited
License, a PowerCore with 4 DSPs allows for 64 voices of
polyphony and 16-parts multi-timbrality. If you combine four 4
DSPs PowerCores, you'll have a 256 voice polyphonic and
64-part multi-timbral virtual analog synth and FX
monster!!
The Unlimited License is an add-on to the
Base License and can utilize a virtually unlimited amount of
DSPs. The only limitation is your hardware and your
imagination.
